Rabat – Georgina Rodríguez has addressed the online criticism surrounding her appearance after photos of her in a bikini during a yacht vacation sparked a wave of body-shaming comments on social media.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, the model and entrepreneur shared a series of photos, including the images that fueled the discussion and a mirror selfie in a white bikini. Alongside them, she reflected on self-acceptance, body image, and the pressure of unrealistic beauty standards.
Rodríguez acknowledged that the human body naturally changes over time, saying she welcomes those changes as a sign of life and growth, and that physical appearance should never determine a person’s value.
She added that she and partner Cristiano Ronaldo are raising their children to believe that confidence, kindness, and character matter far more than the opinions of strangers.
She admitted that reading comments describing her as “fat” affected her more than she expected, especially because her career places her constantly in the public eye.
According to Rodríguez, Ronaldo reminded her that what truly defines her is not her appearance, but her personality, achievements, and role as a mother, words she said helped her regain perspective.
Rodríguez noted that criticism of her body tends to resurface every summer, prompting her to question society’s obsession with defining the “ideal” body.
She challenged the idea that happiness or beauty can be measured by a clothing size, encouraging followers to rethink those expectations.
The influencer also explained that fitness has never been about losing weight.
Instead, she views exercise as a way to maintain her physical and mental well-being, describing her daily workout as one of the most important parts of her routine because it brings her balance, discipline, and energy.
Ending her message on a positive note, Rodríguez said she embraces her body at every stage of life.
She expressed gratitude for everything it has allowed her to experience, from motherhood to overcoming personal challenges, adding that real success lies in living peacefully, staying healthy, cherishing loved ones, and continuing to grow as a person.
